ABOUT ME:  After many years using color pencils, I feel like I've found an exciting new vista.  I became inspired by the Daily Painters Movement to try oils. Followers of the movement vow to paint one small painting a day. My first subject was a 1920's Pinocchio Doll. Painting every day has improved my technique and built up my confidence very quickly.

STATEMENT:  Painting flowers in particular seems to free my creative spirit. I am an HGTV addict and I love seeing the latest trends in design and fashion. I thrive on clever color combinations and interesting negative spaces. Flowers present a simple framework from which any number of visual outcomes can be achieved. Nothing thrills me more than a composition that satisfies both traditional standards and serves as salve for my inner design junkie.

I am very grateful to my collectors and I love being a painter. 

MORE ABOUT ME:  My last name is pronounced hep-ner.  I live in a 109 year old home in Cleveland, OH with my hot husband and two cats. I have a BA in studio arts.   (:

ABOUT THE PAINTINGS:  My paintings are oil on cradled board, which I prepare myself. They are ready to hang via a wire on back, however they will also fit into ready made 8" x 8" frames if desired. They are signed on front and also titled, signed and dated on the back. (Please know colors from my camera to your monitor may vary slightly!) Larger paintings are available through galleries, juried shows and by special commission, contact me for more information. 

ART IS GOOD:   I encourage you to buy a painting on Ebay, even if it's not mine... Ebay allows artists a valuable opportunity to forgo the traditional pay out to art agent/consultant and/or gallery. Most galleries are not interested in small works anyway, there's not enough money in it for them.  Ebay is an outstanding resource for the the beginning collector to acquire real art.   The seasoned art buyer too, will find a plethora of opportunities for gift giving as well as adding value to their personal collections.   

RETURN POLICY:  Buying art is a personal and subjective decision. Whether this is your first or your fortieth art purchase, you are welcomed to "try out" one of my paintings. If you are anything less than thrilled, return it/no questions asked for a full refund. (within 14 days, not including shipping) 

CONTACT:   I welcome inquiries of all kinds and I am available for custom commissions, do email me today, I'll get back to you within 24 hours.  Be the first to see new paintings on my art blog.  More about me and my art on my website.
